Ramsey shows his worth by DG

Aaron Ramsey has not had an easy run of it. After showing so much early promise at Arsenal he missed almost a year of football thanks to Ryan Shawcross. On his return, Ramsey struggled to win over Gooners with some varied performances. However, the absence of Jack Wilshere and the sale of Alex Song this season has meant that Arsene Wenger has had to rely on the young Welshman more and more, and he is finally starting to reap consistent rewards. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal’s famous list of “deadwood” players seems to get bigger every year, but for some reason we can never get anyone to actually buy them off us and we have to struggle to send them out on loan every year. But we still do have some talented players out there that have a chance of coming back and becoming first team players of the future.

Let’s lok first at the experienced players that are on loan:

Andre Santos (Gremio) – No-one wants him back at Arsenal but can you believe he played the full 90 minutes in Brazil’s 4-0 win over Bolivia last weekend! .......Read the full article here

There will not be many Arsenal fans that will be happy that a certain Sebastien Squillaci is still in training with the club after the transfer window deadline has come and gone. Arsenal failed to find buyers for Nicklas Bendtner or Chu-Young Park, but at least they have been sent out on loan to Juventus and Celta Vigo respectively.

You could say that Carlos Vela was at least offloaded to Real Sociedad six weeks ago, but most Arsenal fans would say he was a misunderstood talent rather than deadwood, but the likes of Marouane Chamakh (Giroud’s backup striker?), Andrei Arshavin and Johan Djourou are still part of the Gunners squad, while Bendtner, Denilson and Park are still Arsenal players in name if not in geographical position. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have already waved goodbye to Nicklas Bendtner and Park Chu-Young today. There are offers from Turkish club Besiktas and Spanish side Malaga to take Marouane Chamakh on loan for the next year. So what happens if Olivier Giroud picks up an injury?

I really hope that by the end of today, Arsene Wenger can announce a new striker at the Emirates, even if it is on loan. Lukas Podolski plays as a striker sometimes, but his best position is coming in from the left side, as a support striker, or from deep. Arsenal will have only one out and out striker if Chamakh goes. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have made more room at the Emirates after South Korean striker Park Chu-Young has sealed his transfer to the Spanish club Celta Vigo. The club were promoted to La Liga in Spain last season and have been looking to boost their squad on a tight budget.

Spanish newspaper Marca reports that the agreement is for a year long loan deal, with no mention of an option or clause to make it permanent. The 27-year old is due to be presented at the Balaidos stadium in Vigo at 4 p.m. today after completing his medical. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal prepared to slash prices by TS

So the transfer window is closing all the more quickly now it would seem, and Arsenal’s board are beginning to panic. Panic? Really? Well, yes, it would seem they are. Apparently, the board is fed up with fringe players sucking the life out of our wage budget and are prepared to cut their asking prices on certain players.

Joyful days ahead then, or so it would seem. Clubs around the world should now be lining up outside our stadium, making ludicrous offers to remove the likes of the Bendtner’s and Park’s and Chamakh’s of our world from our squad sheets. If Arsenal were a clothing store this would be their summer, 50% off SALE! .......Read the full article here

Celta Vigo eyes Park Chu-Young on loan by AM

According to Spanish media, Celta Vigo are eyeing a loan deal for Arsenal forward Park Chu-Young. The South Korean forward has been out in cold ever since his mysterious arrival last year. Park is perhaps Arsene Wenger’s most questionable transfer investment. The forward, who was signed from Monaco last season, has made only one league appearance (total of six appearances in all competition). This season, it looks highly unlikely that Arsene Wenger will hold on to the Korean. To be fair to Park he wasn’t even given enough opportunity to prove himself as Wenger continued to prefer Chamakh when van Persie was unavailable last season. .......Read the full article here

Wenger confirms that Park, Squillaci and Bendtner are on their way out of Arsenal!

We’ve finally got some confirmation from Wenger on certain players to depart from Arsenal this summer. He’s highlighted that Chu-Young Park, Sebastian Squillaci and Niklas Bendtner are all on their way out of the Emirates.

Here is the quote from Wenger: “Bendtner, Squillaci and Park will be on their way to go somewhere”

This is some amazing news and it is finally looking positive on an Arsenal front. With the deadwood being sold, we now have the licence to get new players into the squad (potentially Cazorla and Sahin). .......Read the full article here

Nicklas Bendtner has Galatasaray offer by AH

Last week it was reported that Arsenal had received enquiries for Nicklas Bendtner from AC Milan and Galatasaray. They were both quoted a £7.5 million price tag and AC Milan’s interest dropped. Since then AC Milan have sold Zlatlan Imbrahimovic and are on the lookout for a new striker and they see Bendtner as an option.

Galatasaray are slightly keener however and they contacted Arsenal again asking if they could contact Bendtner and offer him personal terms, to which Arsenal gave permission. .......Read the full article here

The Arsenal and Korea striker Chu-Young Park has been largely invisible in his first (and last?) season at the Emirates, and he has now made it clear that he is wlling to listen to any offers that may come his way this summer as he goes in search of some first-team football.

Park is currently preparing for the Olmypics and hopefully some good performances may put him in the shop window, but he has admitted that he hasn’t had any offers so far. He said: “There’s no progress. There’s no offer so I have nothing to consider.

“If an offer comes, then I’ll consider it. Right now, I don’t want to think about Arsenal.” .......Read the full article here

Now that Jack Wilshere has been ruled out of joining Team GB’s Olympic team, it looks like Arsenal will have five current Gunners going to play at the Olympics in August.

Arsene Wenger has already said that the Olympics could play havoc with Arsenal’s pre-season, and now that Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs are set to join up with Team GB Wenger will have to worry about either of them suffering from injury at the tournament. Gibbs is especially a worry given his former history of injuries and as his other left-back Andre Santos is also known to be fragile there is a danger of a nreve-wracking start to the season. .......Read the full article here
